Hello again!
If, like me, you have a bit more time on your hands for some reason, why not spend it reading about movies? Remember the cinema? No, me neither.
I’ve continued my look back at previous Oscar years to see if – prior to this year’s trailblazing winner Parasite – any other winner of Best Foreign-Language Feature really ought to have beaten whatever won Best Picture that year.
In the first review, Roma beat Green Book hands down, but can Chilean transphobia movie A Fantastic Woman beat weird gothic romance The Shape of Water? And can Iranian domestic drama The Salesman overcome gay coming-of-age movie Moonlight?
I’ll continue to post links to the Medium post via my Twitter feed, because clicking through to Medium from Twitter is free for you, my lovely, lovely readers.
The 2017 Oscars will be remembered for the Academy’s biggest cockup – giving the Best Picture award to La La Land by accident – but Moonlight was the real (and deserving) winner.
But is it better than that year’s Best Foreign Feature, The Salesman?https://t.co/cIMi7VWriK
